James Michael Phillips, Appellant Pro Se. Brian Lee Whisler, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Charlotte, North Carolina, for
Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM:
James Michael Phillips seeks to appeal the district courts
order denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. 2255 (West Supp.
2000).

We have reviewed the record and the district courts

opinion and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we deny a cer-

tificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning

of the district court.

See United States v. Phillips, Nos. CR-94-

29-P; CA-99-11-P (W.D.N.C. Feb. 25, 2000).

We dispense with oral

argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately

presented in the materials before the court and argument would not
aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED
